Olusegun Obasanjo and his letters.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo appears to have acquired a new skill since leaving office a little above eight years ago. That skill is letter writing; and he wastes no time to pen down his thoughts on issues whenever the need arises. Of course, knowing the former president as someone who is not afraid to speak his mind, some of the issues he raises in his letters end up stirring more controversies than solutions. Example is the 18-page letter he wrote to former President Goodluck Jonathan on December 2, 2013 wherein he (Obasanjo) levelled sundry but grave allegations against Jonathan. That letter not only heated up the polity but further strained the relationship between the duo. Just last Wednesday, another letter written by Obasanjo to National Assembly members leaked to the press. As usual, the Ota farmer was in his true colours and this time, he accused the lawmakers of fiscal irresponsibility, impunity and corruption. He also alleged in the letter that a number of the 1...

People trooped to Alayo Vantage Hospital from far and near for a glimpse of the miracle baby.

Though this event is billed as a press conference on a Better Security and Education for West Africa, for the sake of time, I will focus on my experience in government which gave me a practical demonstration of how education impacts on security. I will thereafter touch on my post presidential focus which is on advancing democracy and good governance in Africa and increasing access to opportunity for wealth generation in Africa. If you peruse the official UNESCO literacy rates by country, what you will find is that all of the top ten most literate nations in the world are at peace, while almost all of the top 10 least literate nations in the world are in a state of either outright war or general insecurity. Lower education levels are linked to poverty and poverty is one of the chief causative factors of crime whether it is terrorism or militancy or...

On a few occasions in the past, both in and out of office as the President of Nigeria I have agonised on certain issues within the arms of government at the national level and among the tiers of government as well. Not least, I have reflected and expressed, outspokenly at times, my views on the practice in the National Assembly which detracts from distinguishness and honourability because it is shrouded in opaqueness and absolute lack of transparency and could not be regarded as normal, good and decent practice...

Image
A group of Mechanical Engineering students from the University of Lagos have built an electric-powered car from scratch, using locally sourced materials. The project, which began in 2014, was initiated by two engineering graduates (then undergrads), Olukoya Olusanya and Maduka Smart, who later enlisted the help of other mechanical engineering students. The result of the collaboration was a zero emission electric powered prototype vehicle called dubbed the DOVE P1. The DOVE P1, which is made of a fibre glass body, weighs in at about 200kg and is capable of speeds of up to 35 km/h. While one would question the viability an electric car in a nation that struggles with reliable power supply. “Cars are going electric”, said team lead Olukoya Olusanya in an interview with CCTV News, “and I believe that in the next 15 years, more than half of all cars sold around the world will be either partially electric or fully electric”.
